1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Instructions

Notes
For a vegan version, substitute eggs with 'flax eggs' (3 tablespoons ground flaxseed mixed with 9 tablespoons water).
To enhance flavor, char the jalapeños before dicing for a smoky sweetness.
